Including filter system and high-performance Radon filter.
Radon is a natural radioactive gas that can dissolve into groundwater and reach a home's water supply. Though people often think of radon as an indoor air problem, it can also come from well water or other local sources and be released into the air when you shower, run the dishwasher, or do laundry. For homeowners in Scanlon it’s important to consider both water and air when evaluating radon, since everyday water use is one way the gas can enter the air you breathe indoors.
Because radon in water has no taste, smell, or color, you won't detect it by sight or sip—testing is the only reliable way to know what’s present. Levels can vary block to block and from one Scanlon property to another, so a test of your own supply is the best first step. If your results show elevated radon, a solution that treats water where it enters the home can fit your household plumbing and daily water habits more effectively than spot treatments at individual taps.
The single most effective whole-house treatment for reducing radon in household water is typically an aeration system installed at the main water entry. Aeration forces radon out of the water into a controlled air stream before the water reaches showers, sinks, and appliances. Because radon is a gas, aeration targets gas transfer directly and usually outperforms standard sediment or carbon filters for this specific job, delivering lower radon levels throughout a Scanlon home rather than only at a single faucet.
A whole-house aeration filter is a contained unit that mixes air with incoming water and vents the radon-laden air safely outside the house. Installed ahead of the water heater and the rest of the plumbing, it treats all water used for bathing, cooking, and cleaning around your Scanlon home. When needed, a prefilter can be added to protect the aeration system and downstream plumbing. Mr. Pure Water can assess your Scanlon property and recommend the right aeration configuration and placement for dependable, whole-home radon reduction.
